As you may or may not know, I’m writing an entire series of stories based (more or less) on this premise. That said, people in real life are attempting to artificially “evolve” by sewing magnets under their skin or otherwise hacking their bodies. Seems a little extreme to me.

Great story, Neil. I loved the way you presented the topic. As you’re well aware, with CRISPR we’ve almost reached the point when we have to answer these ethical questions.
My own take is that if the technology is there and can bring advantages, the wealthy will use it come what may. So, yes, permit biohacking, or the rest of us will be even further left behind.
Very stimulating piece of (almost realisable) speculative fiction!

Quite a futuristic protagonist, I must say. Totally unexpected take and an engrossing narrative. You really know how to leave the readers begging for more. Id love to read more of your writings…Very novel! Keep spinning…

I agree! Coming from the part of the world where I am from, it will still take some time to get there…..we are still decades behind the first world in many aspects. 🙂 Thanks for sharing..will read for sure. Cheers!
